Sounds pretty much what he told me. There is no file for my 2015 Nismo yet so we are waiting for ecutek to send him the file then send it to me. From what i understand I'M supposed to datalog the ecu by driving around for 30 min and doing a few WOT runs then sending him that data back to him to tweak. onced tweaked i get a map back to load and continue with the process over and over till completely tuned. Does this sound right? he didnt offer to keep my car there to tune it himself. am i missing something here?

Yup. You're essentially doing the driving for him, and he'll analyze the data and tune accordingly. It'll be a bit of back and forth, and I'm not sure how quick the turnaround will be for him to send you the new tune each time.

If you wanted to just give him the car for a week, that is probably an option. Call him up and ask him. I'm not sure if he'll charge you more for his time though.

Thanks for the info. that's why i love this forum.

Sounds like quite a bit of work but like you said i just got to be patient with the tuner and the whole process.
updates to come.

Update: ecutek did not have my ecu's rom available for my 2015 370z nismo. I'm waiting after taking a screenshot of the ecu's info to get the file back to load the file and begin data logging. I've been researching others with 2015 Nismo and have been reading about CEL'S and stuttering. Wondering if this is a tuner thing or an ecu thing. Having a bit of buyers remorse now. Patience....I have none. Lol

Ok so just heard back from Joe....i had to "query the ecu" using the supplied cable that will display all the info about my ECU and send the screenshot back to him. The first one i sent him was useless as i didnt press the Query button lol. so he received just some vague Nissan and ecutek start up crap (useless screenshot). BUT... He said i should have a file available to load in about 30 min after i send him the new screeenshot. So im excited ... yay!

Yay for receiving customer service from your tuner.

Ok so its about 48hrs and i still have not received anything.
He mentioned something about getting a car ready for SEMA but im not sure if he was actually going.
i sent him another email just asking on what was holding up the process (politely). I m hoing for a response by morning.
Im the type of customer who demands attention, especially after dropping $700 on a frkn cable. if he is at SEMA i expect i wont hear back from him until about two weeks. Since hes so busy.

You don't expect to hear back from him for two weeks yet you are worried when you don't hear back after 48 hours?

Why don't you just go ahead and ask for your money back?

You seem to be preparing for the worst
